This course studies the history of modern interior design as space (real, built form that was physically inhabited) and image (an ideal image or place). Emphasizing historical contexts and critical theory, it explores ways meaning has been ascribed to modern interior design from the Industrial Revolution to the present day. With a focus on the development of modern design in Europe and the U.S, the class recognizes the key role of various international cultural traditions that influenced the modern design movement and addresses the global dissemination of modern design.
